Adding products
You can add products into your AccountInsight automatically, if you use our Magento connector or Commerce flow. You can also use an API.

Using the Products block
You can add and remove products from your products block in EasyEditor.
Using non-HTTPS images
If you use non-HTTPS product images in your campaign, they could default to SSL images when contacts see it. This means that images served over HTTP represent a non-secure source, and the email campaign may trigger a warning to your contacts when it’s viewed in their browsers or apps. To avoid this, try to use only HTTPS images.
To add a product to your block:
- Go to Build > Building blocks > Ecommerce.
- Drag the Products block onto the canvas.
- Select the block.
- In the Products side panel, select Add product.
- Choose the product catalog you want to use from the Product catalog drop-down menu.
- Search for the product you want to add by name or SKU in the Search products box and select it.
Repeat steps 4 to 6 if you want to add more products.
To remove a product from your block, select the block on the canvas. In the Products side panel, select the Delete icon for the product you want to remove.
